Single track listing

"In My Life" - 4:02

"What Ever" - 3:11

Music video

There is a music video to the song which was shot on Cuba the same year. It was directed by Niklas Fronda and Fredrik Löfberg, Baranga Film/Topaz. Singer Lauri Ylönen is being pulled across the jungle forest floor where he ends up getting very mucky as he jumps into a big pool of swampy mud. The Rasmus have hyper moments during every chorus as they jump around everywhere. Then Lauri is dragged through a lake where all the mud washes off leaving him soaked.

The band's comments

"Selfish song, which is about choices. I have made up my life like I want it to be, but I'm not under anyone's shoe. It urges people, who just repeat they don't know what to do with their lives, to wake up. The sentence 'my victory is your defeat' is borrowed from Killer's (a Finnish band that The Rasmus have worked with) one song."

Wings (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis song)

Context

Macklemore explained the subject of the single as follows:

Music video

The music video, directed by Zia Mohajerjasbi, alludes to an autobiographical story line. It depicts its main character (Macklemore) and his experiences as a young boy infatuated with basketball and basketball paraphernalia, athletic shoes in particular, and what adverse effect it had on him as he grew up.

The music video starts with Macklemore now a grown-up man, going into an empty basketball court, where the indications are, that he apparently used to practice basketball himself. Macklemore raps while he reminisces himself as a small kid wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey number 23 (clearly alluding to NBA player Michael Jordan) and wearing, in a close-up, Nike sneakers that would "make him fly" (another reference to Nike Air Jordan sneakers). He describes "touching the net" as being the "best day of my life" (also a simile of a Jordan typical Nike ad), boasting about his skills to his mother and friends... until that is "my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, whoa", a reference to the basketball shoes he was wearing. This incident becomes a wake-up call to young Macklemore.

Spoiler (automotive)

A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion, usually described as turbulence or drag. Spoilers on the front of a vehicle are often called air dams. Spoilers are often fitted to race and high-performance sports cars, although they have become common on passenger vehicles as well. Some spoilers are added to cars primarily for styling purposes and have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse.

The term "spoiler" is often mistakenly used interchangeably with "wing". An automotive wing is a device whose intended design is to generate downforce as air passes around it, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns. As such, rather than decreasing drag, automotive wings actually increase drag.

Operation

Since spoiler is a term describing an application, the operation of a spoiler varies depending on the particular effect it's trying to spoil. Most common spoiler functions include disrupting some type of airflow passing over and around a moving vehicle. A common spoiler diffuses air by increasing amounts of turbulence flowing over the shape, "spoiling" the laminar flow and providing a cushion for the laminar boundary layer. However, other types of airflow may require the spoiler to operate differently and take on vastly different physical characteristics.

Parts of a theatre

Types of theatres

Arena/Stadium: The playing area is in the center of a large open space which usually seats thousands of people.

Proscenium: The audience directly faces the playing area which is separated by a portal called the proscenium arch. The stage is often raised a few feet higher than the first rows of the audience. The audience is on a rake, getting higher as the seating goes towards the rear of the house.

Thrust: The playing area protrudes out into the house with the audience seating on more than one side.

Stage

The area of the theatre in which the performance takes place is referred to as the stage.

Stage directions or stage positions

In order to keep track of how performers and set pieces more around the space, the stage is divided up into sections oriented based on the performers perspective to the audience. Movement is choreographed by blocking which is organized movement on stage created by the director to synchronize the actor's movement onstage in order to use these positions.

In My Life

In my life I have seen so many thingsSome were true and some were not what they seemedIn my life I've seen love and I've seen lossThere've been times when I did not count the costI have been to a place where chaos rulesIn the caves of the talking stoned the foolsSeen the stars plant their seeds and watch them growJust to keep mister reap but never sowIn my life I've seen greed and I've seen hateSeen the first to accuse the last to praiseTried so hard to find just one saving graceBut I was young did not knowGrace is for GodGreed is to knowMister middle of the roadReaps what you sow
